I think to be allowed to own a ferrari you should have to have a cams license, and be forced to enter it into at least one motokhana, trackday, or targa, etc, etc a year.

Such a waste on wankers like the owner of this car.

there are the typical invitations etc for the ENZO......but i think your on to something, however, maybe it should be extended to all cars above a certain power/weight ratio or just power, because more and more people are wrapping themselves around tree's and having accidents. the more experience you have the better

you must be thinking about maserati which offer invitations to own their cars. enzos are available to whoever has the money, although there is a waiting list as the cars go thru alot of production time. I went to maranello and witnessed the factory, a truly amazing sight.

ohh i ws just getting at, that instead of the car sitting in a garage for 17 years doing just over 1000 km. It should be driven hard and fast like it was designed to be. Not sitting in some faggots garage, so he can tell people at cocktail parties that he was a f40 sitting in his garage at home.

agreed! my boss had a maserati, the most he did with it was accelerate hard out of the lights up to the speed limit, (so a 5sec burst :huh:) no track days, car clubs, almost pretended like it was nothing cause he could.

He's got a lexus executive type car now so i can rest my case....mind you in saying it all....a very nice car in a garage is still good to look at...

I'd get a 911 6 speed manual carrera s.

A nice house to live in, and buy another house as an investment property.

But i think even if i could afford a 800 thousand dollar car, that i wouldn't buy one.

I'd be happy with just a nice audi or something, around the 100 - 200 thousand mark.

With the amount of money i earn i doubt i'll ever afford a car over 40 thousand or so, but i'm quite happy with my motorcycle that shames 800 thousand dollar cars.

Funny I've got a picture of one on my desktop at the moment. I've always had a bit of a soft spot for the F40 (Ferrari's were my childhood fave) as well at the Testarossa.

F40 is a fantastic car, built for no compromise speed & NOT comfort, would be an awsome machine to drive. Was reacently rated in europe as one of the top 10 supercars of all time, along with the R34 GT-R......

      S15 Spec R

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      By PranK · Posted

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
